139. Rethinking Devices: Why Less Screen Time Today Builds Calmer Kids Tomorrow

Screens often show up as gifts—but they come with big questions. In this episode, we talk honestly about kids’ tech, family values, and how to decrease those overwhelming tantrums over tech.

If you’re focused on raising confident kids while keeping tech in its place, this episode will support you. If you have struggled to know where to set boundaries on tech, this will give you those clear guardrails.

By the time you finish listening, you’ll learn:

• Why boredom supports creativity and listening (how to get kids to listen without more rules)
• What’s happening in the brain when games and apps rely on constant rewards
• How kind and firm parenting reduces screen-related power struggles
• Why not all screens are equal—and what to watch out for
• How positive discipline and clear limits protect sleep, mood, and attention
